Powerscourt Estate is home to one of the top three Gardens of the World, as voted by National Geographic. It's also where you'll find Ireland's highest waterfall and one of the most stunningly beautiful Palladian Mansions in the world.

Powerscourt's situation against the backdrop of the great Sugarloaf Mountain, makes it breathtaking in every season. From the ornate Italian Gardens, to the formal walks of the Rose and Kitchen Gardens, there are many hidden treasures to explore. With over 200 varieties of trees, shrubs and flowers, the 47 acres has something for everyone.

The Gardens were laid out over a period of 150 years and were designed to create a garden that was part of the wider landscape, creating one of the most majestic vistas in Ireland. Fine statuary and ironworks collected from across Europe adorn these magnificent Gardens.
